2452 Administrative Earth Day

If you like holidays, April had a
great one in store for you this year. On Wednesday, April 22nd there was a rare
calendrical twofer. Earth Day and Administrative Professionals Day fell on the
same day. Hallmark had to scramble to print up the cards.

Roses are red, violets are blue,
Dash off a letter, Earth Day's for
you.

By the way, not to be color anal
retentive or anything, but aren't violets actually violet? Seems to me violet is
on the purple end of the red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple rainbow
thingie.

Of course Administrative Professionals
do way more than dash off letters. That's why they renamed the day from it's
original appellation, Secretary's Day. The term secretary was seen as somehow
demeaning. You know, like the Secretary of Commerce or the Secretary of
Defense.

I don't know though, maybe certain
office holders would rather be called the Administrative Professional of State.

But this combo date was great. Especially
if you're the Secretary of the Interior. Think of the budget enhancement
possibilities. Or even better if you want to run a cost efficient business and
have an administrative professional who is also a tree-hugger.

That would be a good thing. At least
if you want to use less paper. A conscientious environmentally conscious
administrative professional would put the E in Eco, making sure that just about
every document was an e-document. Electronically insuring they cut down fewer
trees just to print off reams of meaningless paperwork. And putting more green
in your pocket.

So whether you're an eco-filing
clerk or the bookkeeper for Greenpeace, this day was for you.

Roses they are pretty red, at least
all that I have seen,
And they won't be brown and dead,
if we keep the planet green.
